I think it still might be that last year was still a bit special. The pandemic wasn't "over" that long and I noticed quite high flight prices to Minnesota for the WineConf dates. Maybe there was some other, bigger event?
Last year's event was scheduled for midweek rather than the usual weekend slot, and I found that flight prices from the UK at least were really expensive unless you stayed a Saturday night.
A midweek event would also likely mean people needing to take holidays from work, which may not be the case at the weekend, and could also have an effect on attendance I imagine.
